In further experiments with 80 calves under moderate infection conditions (see preceding abstract) weight gains were significantly greater for (ii) and (iii) than for (i). The U.H.T. treatment of (ii) significantly reduced the growth rate of calves fed it. Calves fed (i) reconstituted in diluted whey from (ii) had a significantly better growth rate than those fed (i); the growth response was unlikely to be due entirely to the extra calories.
